That the American farmers will take advantage of the open door there can be no doubt. Even with a tarifl wall against them- they have succeeded m .selling immense quanti- ties of farm products in Canada. more than Canadian farmers have been abke to sell in the United States With reciprocity in farm products the ten American farmers _will crowd the one Canadian farmer pretty close in his own market. _ In fact Canadian farmers will have to compete in eheir own home market with farm products from all the great food producing countries of the But this is not. all the Canadian farmer has t’b face under reciprocity. Owing to the favoured nation treat- ies, any tarifl advantages granted by Canada to the United States must also apply to the following Countries â€"â€"Argentine Republic. Austria-Hun- gary. Bolivia, Columbia. Denmark, Japan, Norway, Russia. Spain, 'Swe- den, Smtzerland, Venezuela. Then it is provided “that- the ad- vantages granted to the United Stat- es shall extend-to the United King- dom and several of the British colon- ies.” This will bring a'cbut free en- trance of farm products from those great food exporting colonies, Aunt- Talia and New Zealand. world.

In sowing seed in raising stock, in growing veget- ables and fruit he will always have to consider what is most liklely to satisfy American demands. And after he has made his arrangements, while his crops are still ungarnered and the live stock, which he has especial-‘ 1y raised to edit the American mark- et, is half grown, the United States Congress may suddenly decide to shut out Canadian farm products of all kinds. Remember the Reciprocity Compact is not a treaty. It may be ‘ ended by the United States Congress ‘ or the Canadian Parliament. It is1 well that we are not tied down to a l permanent arrangement. Even the . Free Trade Farmers’ ConventiOn in 1 Ottawa on iDecember 15 and 16.1310} recommended that a permanent trea- l ty Should not be made. but that any understanding arrived at should be put into effect by concurrent legis‘ lation. All classes of the community] were of the same opinion in this reâ€" gard, and the Government could not i have defied the unanimous sentimenti of the community. So when we point I out that either the United States or Canada is at liberty to end the ag- reement at short notice, we are not blaming the Government for this. We believe that Canadians in general, including hath farmers and city peo- ple, will find the arrangement so un- satisfactory that they will be thank- i ful Parliament has the power to ter- ‘ minate it, but if this forecast should g prove wrong, there will always overâ€" i hang the cloud of uncertainty regarâ€" : It is now proposed to add to the unawta‘inty of Canadian farming.
